WHEREAS, Sid Corrie of the Corrie Development Corporation (Applicant/Property Owner) has
requested approval of a General Plan Amendment to allow an increase in the maximum Floor Area Ratio
from .5 to .6 for the 'Retail/Office' land use category; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and implementing
Guidelines, an Initial Study has been prepared to assess the proposed project. Based on the Initial Study, a
Negative Declaration has been prepared and is on file with the Dublin Planning Department. The project as
proposed will not have a significant impact on the environment; and
WHEREAS, a completed application for each of the requested actions is available and on file in the
Dublin Planning Department; and
WHEREAS, a 20 day public review period was held for the Negative Declaration from February 1
through February 21, 2000; and
WHEREAS, no letters commenting on the Negative Declaration was received during the comment
period; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission did hold a public hearing on said application on February 22,
2000; and
WHEREAS, proper notice of said hearing was given in all respects as required by law; and
WHEREAS, a Staff Report was submitted to the Planing Commission recommending approval of the
proposed project subject to conditions of approval; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission did hear and use their independent judgment and considered
all said reports, recommendations and testimony hereinabove set forth.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED THAT THE Dublin Planning Commission does hereby
make the following findings and determinations regarding said Negative Declaration:
1. The Corrie Center Phase II Office project application will not have a significant effect on the
environment based on a review of the Initial Study and public testimony.
2. The Negative Declaration has been prepared in accordance with State and local environmental
laws and guideline regulations.
3. The Negative Declaration is complete and adequate.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED THAT the Dublin Planning Commission does hereby
make the following findings and determinations with regard to the proposed General Plan Amendment:
The proposed Amendment is in the public interest and is consistent with the goals, policies,
general provisions and purpose of the Dublin General Plan which contains policies which
encourage the intensification of the downtown area through the development of mixed-use
pedestrian-orientated development.
The proposed Amendment is appropriate for the 'Retail/Office' land use category because city
policies require that a traffic study be prepared for all new development projects to evaluate the
project's impact on city roadways and recommends mitigation measures to reduce any potential
impacts to a level of insignificance; the city Site Development Review process will ensure that the
proposed project has adequate parking, access, and will be compatible with surrounding land uses,
thereby ensuring that the density of future development will not overburden public services and
would complement surrounding development.
3. The Amendment will not have a substantial adverse effect on public health or safety, or be
substantially detrimental to the public welfare, to be injurious to property or public improvements.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED THAT THE Dublin Planing Commission does hereby
recommend City Council adopt a Negative Declaration attached as Attachment 5 to the Staff
Report for PA 99-010 and approve an Amendment to the Dublin General Plan, increasing the
floor area ratio to .6 for 'Retail/Office' land use category for PA 99-010, Corrie Center Phase II
Office Project.
